The Stylophone

Hmm... Move over Buchla Multi-Dimensional Kinesthetic Input Port. I want one of these. I think I need to hit the local Value Villages again. Maybe I'll find a Thunder sitting with the toasters. Remember, always check the toaster section.

Tite link takes you to more on the Stylophone on Retro Thing.

Update via the comments: "I have two of the little buggers, one black and one white. The main difference, apart from the color, is that the white one is an octave higher than the black one."

Update2 via solipsistnation in the comments: "There are a few versions, actually. I had a black one, a white one, and a woodtone one, and the black was an octave lower and the woodtone had a slightly different timbre from either. It's a really simple little circuit, and it went through a bunch of iterations. Each version is slightly different.

I bought 2 of mine from this guy, and I highly recommend his refurbished Stylophones:

Plus he has loads of info. Check out the 350S!"

Rob Papen's Albino 3 Released

"There are loads of amazing new creative features added like the two new filters "Scream" and "Comb"; four FX units with new FX like LoFi and WahWah; a Compressor and an improved Reverb. But the biggest new feature is that you can layer up to four instances of Albino in one single preset!"

Sonic State Podcasts

I didn't realise Sonic State started doing podcasts. The second one just came out. Title link takes you to there. There's a link to the first one at the bottom of the page.

"Our second round-table discussion once again with Andy Jones and Dave Spiers ranges in topics from monitor choice – Dave have just bought a pair of ADAM monitors and wants a Roland D50, Andy wants something like the Lemur polyphonic touchscreen but not quite and the best and worst of Ebay. We also talk of Imgoen Heap, Thomas Dolby, Russian synths, EML Polybox, Daves enormous synth collection, the Optigon and a few grumpy words on ringtones and more."
